Celebrity Encounters: David Arquette
Stolen from Vice, but they stopped doing it years ago so GAME ON. Anyway, my friend Jay was in Toronto when he caught sight of a pro wrestling legend. and no, it wasn’t “Rowdy” Roddy Piper.
“My David Arquette story is my favourite story of all time. I was sitting having breakfast at a restaurant with my wife and my parents. Our seats were near the window, and I was watching strangers go by when I spotted Courtney Cox and David Arquette walking their dog. My wife turned to my parents to ask if it was in fact Courtney Cox and David Arquette, but I was already gone. I chased them down the street, cut in front of them and stopped. Courtney Cox gave me a funny look as if to say, “who’s this psycho?” I cleared my throat and politely said, “I’m so sorry to bother you, it’s just that it’s not everyday you get to meet a former WCW champion” (here, here and here). Arquette lost it (in a good way). He started laughing and shook my hand. “that’s awesome,” he replied. “What’s your name?” After I told him he said “thanks” and Courtney Cox looked at the both of us, smiling. I turned to her and just said “hey.” She smiled. Then I walked off.”
